Available to hire
I am Nathan Braine, a hardworking and dedicated professional with over 8 years of experience across electronics manufacturing, administration, and customer service. I thrive in team environments, take pride in delivering accurate work, and regularly take on additional responsibilities, such as leading a sub-team when a supervisor is away.
Skills include detailed data entry, stock control, testing and quality assurance, and excellent communication with suppliers and customers. I am eager to bring my reliability, hands-on approach, and problem-solving mindset to a growing team in the UK.
